Burntcoat Head Park Red Cliffs

The Red Sandstone Sea Stack

The centerpiece of this view is the iconic red-cliff island at Burntcoat Head, a wave-sculpted pillar of rust-toned sandstone topped with hardy spruce and fir. Carved over millennia, it stands as one of Nova Scotia's most photographed coastal formations.

The World's Highest Tides

This stretch of the Bay of Fundy records the greatest tidal range on Earth, with water levels rising and falling more than fifteen metres. The live webcam reveals the dramatic transformation as the sea floor is laid bare, exposing a sweeping expanse of reddish mud and rock.

A Living Coastal Landscape

Framed by a coastal park of meadow and woodland, the scene looks out across the open waters toward the distant rugged shoreline. It is a real-time window onto a remarkable Maritime landscape shaped entirely by the rhythm of the tides.
